Let's make this look a bit better, shall we?
What We Know So Far
1.) The Vickers got a restraining order against Ralph. Mr. Vickers submitted a statement to the court on the 11th, the final hearing was on the 13th, and an order was entered on the 19th. Ralph had previously filed continuances for this restraining order, and posted to social media about how he was "playing mindgames" and acting as if he were a Machiavellian schemer with his antics.
2.) Ralph's arraignment was on the 13th. This is five days before the pictures of Xander appeared on /cow/. This is also the same day in which the third hearing for the restraining order was held, and we know Ralph was not at the restraining order hearing.
3.) The charges being brought back up is not due to the Xander pictures being posted to /cow/. As I stated, the arraignment for the revenge porn charge was on the 13th, five days before the pictures showed up. There is no way they could have been the catalyst for this turn of events.
What We Don't Know
1.) Why was the case nolle prosequi'd instead of being dismissed outright? Until someone is able to get the paperwork from the court--if this is possible--we don't know. A nolle prosequi (noll pros) is the prosecution making a motion to state they are not pursuing the case any further than it already has but they are also not dismissing the case. This allows the prosecutors to continue later on with the charges should there be an issue, such as new evidence coming to light. A dismissal would include attaching double jeopardy, which would mean that he could not be charged for the same crime again; however, a noll pros allows for the prosecution to refile the charges at a later time, the length of which is determined by statute. At the time, my thinking was that Ralph, knowing he couldn't win against the charges, when begging to the Vickers to drop the charges and he'd give up his parental rights to Xander as well as not contact them, and take down any inflammatory articles on his site about Mr. Vickers. This seemed to have some backing when that day, Ralph deleted the article on Mr. Vickers. I now have reason to believe the Vickers had no say in the matter and that it was simply a unilateral decision made by the prosecution at the time, based on statements Ralph has allegedly made to his "gold star callers".
Some people have claimed that the entire thing is being run by Mr. Vickers, and that's a possibility. They believe that Faith refused to testify or was an uncooperative complainant. I have seen nothing to indicate that. If that were the case, the case would have been dismissed outright since the victim is claiming they won't cooperate and the state won't waste time and resources on the case. At the same time, if she decided to go ahead at a later date then it likely would not have been done, because her credibility is impeached when she's cross-examined and asked about actions Ralph may have taken that caused her decision to change after declining to cooperate with the prosecution.
There is also the possibility that because of COVID the state decided not to pursue it and put the requirements on him in order to get the charges dropped. I mean, you look at him and you see a definite person who's dying if he contracts it in jail.
2.) Why was the case brought back to the fore? Thinking right now is the noll pros had a stipulation attached, namely to leave the Vickers alone and to sever all ties to them. However, we know that on July 8/July 9 Ethan messaged/texted Mr. Vickers, threatening him because he allegedly took away Faith's internet access because she was in communication with Ralph. he even ran to Twitter to brag about doing it. You can read that saga here. He also insinuated Vickers was a pedophile and that Xander would not be safe around him. Not long after, Mr. Vickers filed for a restraining order against Ralph.
3.) Faith claims to have taken out her own restraining order against Ralph. We don't know why she would do this if she's living with her parents. Technically, California state law would cover anyone living in the house, to include Faith and Xander. However, taking out a Domestic Violence Restraining Order would increase her chances of keeping Xander if Ralph did go through on his threats to be legally recognized as Xander's father and, furthermore to seek sole custody of Xander. With Faith living in California it was unlikely that Ralph would gain custody, though I'm sure the state would have no problems having him recognized as the legal father because then they can fuck him up the ass for child support, but it means it's one less thing she has to deal with if and when she moves out of her family's house.
4.) Will Ralph see jail? Unknown at this time. The charge is a misdemeanor carrying a maximum penalty of 12 months in jail (not prison) and/or a $2,500 fine for the first offense. THERE IS NO WAY HE'S ENDING UP ON THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY. My expectation is some time of probation and a fine, and possibly community service. However, Virginia does take into account prior convictions and actions by the defendants in determining the punishment, and with Adezero's restraining order against him that might figure into it, alongside his assaulting a female cop.
That being said, the interesting part could be his previous probation. The crime was committed in the middle of said probation, of which he was doing 28 months for assaulting said female police officer. Some states--and I am led to believe Virginia is one of them, based on a conversation I had with a Norfolk-based lawyer--allow a defendant who has completed their probation but is later charged and convicted for a crime committed during the period of the probation to be found in violation of the terms of said probation, enhancing penalties and voiding the fact it has been completed. Virginia also appears to be a state where if you fuck up at any point and it's found to be a probation violation, the judge has the authority to order you to start over from day 1, so he'd have to redo those 28 months on top of his current sentence, if he's found guilty.
EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention is arguably the funniest thing to come from Ralph in a while, and that was the fight with Digibro. While he hasn't been charged with trespassing or assault with regards to that incident, there's no denying it was recorded and put on YouTube, that Ralph was involved, and that it looks like trespassing from just watching the video. Could this be a factor?
